Anti-corruption Indian activist Anna Hazare lying down during his anti-corruption fast at Ram Lila grounds in New Delhi, yesterday, in front of an image of India’s independence hero Mahatma Gandhi. Indian activist Hazare said he was ready “to die” for India as the government called an all-party meeting to try to break its damaging standoff with the anti-corruption campaigner. Hazare’s hunger strike has captured the public imagination in India, triggering huge protests and boxing Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s graft-tainted government into a tight political corner.
